Green Curry Chicken 青咖哩鸡




Mum gave me some green chilies that she didn’t know what to do with them (they were given to her by a friend), so, I suddenly thought of making green curry. I had trouble looking for fresh basil here in Kuala Kangsar, the market peddlers told me there’s no fresh basil in the market, only at people’s houses… So I had to find a
substitute.

Few days later, I got the idea to use ‘daun kesum’ instead, which is also another aromatic fresh herb easily found in Malaysia, especially in Kuala Kangsar where Laksa is the most popular local food here.

As far as I can remember, I’ve never eaten green curry before this, just saw many green curry in jars at hypermarkets
